I adore quite a number of Prabal Gurung‘s pieces this season!
Amazing doughnut sleeve dress is amazing.

Fans of Bodycon dresses should take a look at Cushnie et Ochs.

Organic is very… organic. And perhaps a little boring.

I have mixed feelings towards Ruffian. I’m not really feeling the fabrics and prints.

I’ll post up interesting collections if i see any!

A supposed-to-be-really-brief post about what I’ve been up to!

Lady From Mars: My Photoblog which I update semi-regularly.
Lookbook: I found myself invited so why not LOL.

Shoe-gazing.

This piece was designed and acid washed by me!
Lots of ways to wear it but there’s a button missing so I can’t do any of those wonderful things yet. :x
It was a hideous turquoise blue, and since it cannot get any uglier than its original condition, I decided to have “fun” with the bleach.

Destroyer of Universes… and denim.

I acid-washed this pair by myself too! DIY WOOT.
I’m really pleased with how it turned out! :DD
Bag on the left of the image belonged to my mother. She says my dad actually got it made for her or soooomething romantic la. Apparently she doesn’t care.

As you can see, I sliced the jeans and nearly my finger.
I might have overdone it but I’m not very worried cause I can always transform them into shorts. 8D

The amount of bleach i exposed myself to (cause I was doing two pairs at the same time, the other one needs MOAR bleach), gifted me with sore eyes! Bloody splendid.

Not the anime Bleach.
…just so you know.

I like the layout and content of this new issue. In particular, this fashion spread.

I’m smitten with this coil armour blouse that both models wore. It’s from I never promised you a rose garden. It makes a great layering piece, but it comes with a pretty hefty price tag. Heh.

Sorry we’ve been away for such a long time. It’s the holidays for us now! We’ll be back with more posts soon :)

Anyway i caught the flu bug a couple of days ago and i’ve been home doing my assignments (wtf, mate?)
I really want to do DIY stuff but it’s only happening in my head.

I can’t think of any projects that I’d really want to work on to be honest, and everytime i say DIY i end up sewing a garment from scratch, then i proceed to curse and swear my head off, wondering why I did this in the first place. ):

So in the whole DIY mood, i realised that i’ve (or actually, Huishan) only posted one photo of the dress I made for AFF Day 2! Obviously i’m proud of it since no one could tell it was home made~ :DDDDDD /ego

Today, I shall spam all of you with work in progress photos and what have you. :D
..but it appears that I only have one wip shot. :/

Cute bedsheet, y/y?
Anyway i took this with my phone. D: The shiny thing on the left hand side of the photo is a needle, lol.

On the morning of AFF, in my parent’s room.

I think the whole dress was produced in around 48 hours or something? I only finished at 2am that day! It was horrible. I would’ve liked to sleep more.

Back view photo taken after the event~

All things considered, i guess it turned out pretty well!
DIY suggestions, anyone?

Here are scans from the June 2009 issue of Style that we promised you! Thank you Huishan for (killing your issue of Style?) to scan them!

If i recall correctly, her name is Jeanne and she’s with Ave.
Back to editing photos. ):

Complex Geometries collaborated with Tommy from Jak & Jil for The White Tee Project – a series of versatile white tees.

This is my favourite. Simply stunning!

And here’s Camille from Childhood flames wearing a Complex Geometries tank.

Do check out Complex Geometries website. I found some pretty rad pieces from their AW09 collection.

Thank god the weekend is near! Our measly two weeks break is just a few days away! :D More posts will be coming soon when we are free from school!

Happy birthday!!! Now you’re old enough to buy beer, watch M18 movies, and enter clubs with your own IC. Okay, here are a few pictures of your favourite model to get you through the dreadful class we’re having later :(

LooVee

We ended up staying for the later half of their performance. And I ended up going to all three nights of their performance. I dragged lenne along to the last night of their performance. I’m a converted fangirl of theirs now :D

The singer, P-s, danced unabashedly to their songs. He’s so cute <3

Grappa, a member of the band, taught the audience some dance moves that look like stretching exercise.

The guitarist ran off stage only to return later in costume

The band changed to t-shirts printed with alphabets spelling out Singapore. Such a crowd pleaser :)

L is for LooVee!

LooVee collaborated with local band, Comic Strip, in the second half.

Video and photos without watermark are kindly provided by our friend, Jeremy. Thanks Jem! If you are free on the weekend, do drop by Esplanade to catch free performances from Flipside. The programme lineup can be found here.

anyway, more resort 2010 for you!
I’m not a fan of resort collections, but I do love the fact that I can imagine the pieces being worn in bloody sunny Singapore.

Helmut Lang is making me happy.

However, the weird denim thing is not making me happy. It reminds me of my own mouldy, algae-like hair. Mebbe the clothes will match my hair!

Bones.

Speaking of bones, Rag & Bone isn’t spectacular this season.
The look is so bloody common nowadays and Rag & Bone didn’t really have anything new to offer.
Nevertheless, the styling is amazing and I would love to own some of these pieces.

I was looking forward to Alexander Wang, but I feel disappointed.
The two looks above are the only two that i really like.
The second piece looks like something I can make too, how tempting.
(I just realised that they’re both black, and showered with zips, HAHA. How typical of me.)
